UPT20 2026: Mohammad Saif's 89 Secure 14-run DLS Win For Lucknow Falcons Over Kashi Rudras
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Lucknow Falcons secured their second consecutive victory of the UP T20 League Season 4, defeating defending champions Kashi Rudras by 14 runs via the DLS method in Match 17 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday. Kashi Rudras skipper Karan Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, the decision was immediately challenged by the Lucknow openers, Mohammad Saif and Himanshu Singh. The pair dominated the powerplay, stitching together an aggressive 67-run opening stand. The breakthrough finally came courtesy of the Kashi captain himself. Karan Sharma introduced himself into the attack and promptly dismissed Himanshu Singh for a well-made 36 off 22 balls, following it up shortly after with the wicket of Ajeet Verma (13). Despite wickets falling at regular intervals at the other end, opener Mohammad Saif remained an immovable force. Anchoring the innings beautifully, Saif accelerated perfectly, showcasing tremendous power-hitting to smash a brilliant 89 off 57 deliveries, decorated with three boundaries and seven towering sixes. His magnificent knock ensured the Lucknow Falcons posted a highly competitive 174/7 in their 20 overs. For the Kashi Rudras, Atal Bihari Vipin Rai was the pick of the seamers, returning figures of 3/38, while skipper Karan Sharma delivered a highly economical spell of 2/17. Chasing 175 for victory, the defending champions suffered a disastrous start. Lucknow pacer Akshu Bajwa bowled a devastating spell with the new ball, tearing through the Kashi top order to leave them reeling at 17/3. Bajwa's hostile burst included the massive wicket of Kashi skipper Karan Sharma, who fell for a golden duck. Attempting to rescue the innings, Impact Player Uvaish Ahmed provided some brief fireworks, scoring a quickfire 29 off 17 balls. However, his counter-attack was cut short by Vipraj Nigam, halting Kashi's momentum. Renowned Indian international and Lucknow Falcons captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar then joined the party, removing Upendra Yadav to plunge the Rudras deeper into trouble. With Kashi Rudras struggling at 104/5 in 14 overs, heavy rain interrupted play. The stoppage proved terminal for the match. According to the DLS par score, Kashi was found to be 14 runs short of the requirement, handing the Lucknow Falcons a 14-run victory. For his outstanding knock that set up the match, Mohammad Saif was rightfully adjudged the Player of the Match. With Kashi Rudras struggling at 104/5 in 14 overs, heavy rain interrupted play.

The popular crime franchise Mirzapur, which became a major title in Indian streaming, is now heading to the big screen with Mirzapur: The Movie. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, the film is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. It is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on September 4, 2026. Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, along with co-producers Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani, the film continues the story that first gained a following in 2018. The big-screen adaptation features an ensemble cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Abhishek Banerjee, Rasika Dugal, Mohitt Maalik, Sheeba Chadha, Rajesh Tailang, Pramod Pathak, Harshita Shekhar Gaur, Shweta Tripathi and Sonal S Chauhan. The film will also see the return of popular characters such as Divyenndus Munna Bhaiya, Kulbhushan Kharbandas Satyanand Tripathi and Shriya Pilgaonkars Sweety Gupta. During a promotional event for the film in Patna, Pankaj Tripathi revisited an important chapter of his early career. Addressing the crowd in Bihar, the actor recalled the days when he was a theatre artist working to establish himself before making his mark in films. Tripathi remembered travelling by bicycle from Kankarbagh to Khagaul for theatre rehearsals. He shared how those early experiences remain closely connected to his journey as an actor. Recalling his first play at the N.C. Ghosh Institute in Khagaul, Pankaj Tripathi said, It was right here that I performed my very first play at N.C. Ghosh Institute in Khagaul. For about a month and a half, I used to cycle all the way from Kankarbagh to come here for the performances. So, when I arrived at the station 30 years later and saw the NC Ghosh building, memories from those days came flooding back. Returning to Danapur station decades later, this time amid fans and as an established actor, brought back memories of his early struggles and theatre days. Tripathi also spoke about his connection with Bihar and expressed pride in witnessing the regions growth and the warmth he continues to receive there. For the actor, the visit was more than just part of the films promotional campaign. It became an opportunity to revisit the journey that began with theatre, long before he became widely recognised on screen.
